Either way, I vote Kabuterimon here. While Heracross has the AP advantage, Kabuterimon has more mobility as well as way more willing to spam ranged attacks. His main claim to fame here is his Fire and Air based skills (Which Heracross is weak to) and his ability to Poison Heracross, weakening him or even killing him after a period of time.

I think Ex said something about the Mind, Body and Soul being seen as nothing but data and as such a Digimon can attack any one of them, hence why when a Digimon kills another they are labelled as "deleted" i.e erased from existence....or something like that. I dunno. It's best to hear it from him.

Explaining right in Hackers Memory is explained that for the Digimon everything that exists is just another form of data, so they can affect anything. For example, as the mind is just data, Digimon can destroy or control it in the same way it does with any other type of data.

Not exactly, before there were already several confirmations of everything being Data and we see Digimon interacting with it. What Hackers Memory did was explain it directly leaving no loopholes for multiple interpretations (Which is good, because in some forums always try to interpret Digimon things in order to underestimate Digimon).

@PaChi2 Not necessarily, remember that Digimon has its own method of equalization of verses (Between the Physical World and the Digital World) and in any Situation the Digimon remained the same, the problem is the Physical Existence. Digimon explains that Data is superior to the Physical World, so much so that it is impossible for physical beings to cross the dimensions of time and space, but Data are capable of doing so. For the Digimon the Physical World is just a "fragile house of cards"

And really, it seems to be something unique for originally digital beings, and in fact this is something that the humans of digimon themselves do not understand as it happens. For them it does not make sense, for example, a computer virus to affect a physical being, but it happens. It's similar to Yu-Gi-OH! VRAINS where computer viruses normally affect human beings even in their physical forms.

I think the reason for this doubt is because Humans think that data is just computer stuff, but in Digimon the Existence of the data is much earlier than the universe itself and the Digimon is an application of Plato's Theory of Souls. Digimon actually uses data in a very unique way, at least for what I know about that.
